I think calling the lack of trigger button a 'major' shortcoming is a bit strong. No doubt it is a useful feature all the same. However it has to be said that the former Wiard unit was well featured with two of everything including banana sockets. CW

Thanks for the explanation behind that (why no kits). I never thought about it that way. Grant never said that everyone had to have one. On the Joystick couldn't grant have just dropped the VU meter, was it really that useful? I don't know but if/when I get my system up to some s

I presently am waiting on a 12 module system. I have one (Borg), soon to have my second module (Envelator). When I ordered, there were about 40 modules ahead of me. Since then, Grant has peeled off about 25 of them, while finishing my second module. When do I expect him to comple

I'd think someone like him might get more use out of a Nord Lead III...... By the way I am in the market for either a Technosaurus or a Wiard modular. What is the wait time for Grant's stuff right now. Full blown 6 unit system. Is it longer than 8 weeks? Kurt -----Original Messag

No more Joystick controller? Why? How am I supposed to make wiard music w/o a joystick controller? a keyboard? that's not very wiard! I've been saving up money to get a joystick plus, like, a couple of oscillators, an omni-filter, a Mixolator and stuff like that to start out w/.

Thanks for all the great posts I guess I'll be getting the Waveform City module first. It would be great if Grant decided to start kitting these things that way he wouldn't have to work so hard. Does he build all the modules himself or does he have help? I ask this because I hear
2002-05-23 by Robair, Gino
Dustin, Mark, folks; I share Dr. Mabuse's view. But I would like to add that every module is somewhat of a complete synth in itself. I've spent hours recording self-contained patches on the Borg. Same goes for the Woggle Bug. Having said that, I now wish I had the Waveform City m

Hi Dustin, First off, I think that Mark Verbos gave you some very well-reasoned general advice. I don't know anything about your application. (ie: what, if any, modular gear you already own, what general type of music you produce) so I must qualify my 2-cents-worth here. IF you a
2002-05-23 by mark verbos
hi Dustin, Although all Wiard modules have tricks up their sleeves, the most far out are the Waveform City and the monomorphic Filter. The Waveform City does more with wavetable lookups than any other analog module ever did, and as a result is a huge part of the Wiard sound. the

Sebastian- Your posts provide an interesting read but they seem a bit aggressive and defensive. In my opinion Grant has a refreshing reservation in pushing his creation. He wants to make sure (as best as he can) that people are going to be happy with their purchase. He's like a g

Gary Chang was kind enough to point out that the Wiard contains 3 balanced modulators. This is also called "ring" modulation and produces the sum and difference frequencies while suppressing the original carrier and modulation frequencies. The technique is used in the Music Easel
